Consolidation Actions Taken

  1. Updated Task Backlog.md with new sections:

    • Section 8: Forecast & AR(1) Model
    • Section 9: Regime Clustering Enhancements
    • Section 10: Architecture & Code Quality
  2. Updated Progress Summary:

    • Active Tasks: 25 → 61
    • Added consolidation notes
    • Updated last modified date
  3. Added Consolidation Notices to audit documents:

  4. Updated Supporting Documents:

    • Task Backlog.md - Added note about master document
    • docs/To Do.md - Marked as DEPRECATED

Benefits of Consolidation

  1. Single Source of Truth: All tasks tracked in one master document
  2. No Duplication: Eliminated redundant task tracking across multiple files
  3. Clear Priorities: All tasks have assigned priorities (Critical → Low)
  4. Traceability: Each task references its source audit document
  5. Status Tracking: Clear status (Done/Pending/Planned/Deferred) for all tasks
  6. Better Organization: Tasks grouped by functional area

Document Structure

The consolidated Task Backlog.md now contains:

  1. Progress Summary - Overall metrics and recent completions
  2. Sections 1-7 - Existing task categories (Analytics, Model Management, etc.)
  3. Section 8 - NEW: Forecast & AR(1) Model (14 tasks)
  4. Section 9 - NEW: Regime Clustering Enhancements (8 tasks)
  5. Section 10 - NEW: Architecture & Code Quality (7 tasks)
  6. Appendices - Train/Test terminology cleanup, performance analysis, etc.

Maintenance Guidelines

  1. Single Update Point: Update only Task Backlog.md for task tracking
  2. Audit Documents: Keep audit documents as historical reference, don't update
  3. Completed Tasks: Move from Pending → Done with completion date
  4. New Audits: Add new sections to Task Backlog.md following existing format
  5. Regular Reviews: Update progress summary monthly

2025-11-14 Repository Delta Audit (SQL + Grafana)

This section records a light‑weight follow‑up audit after the first full consolidation, focusing on SQL integration outputs and Grafana dashboards.

A. SQL Outputs & Run Logging

B. Grafana Dashboards & SQL Queries

C. Files Archived as Non‑Essential

The following files were moved to artifacts/archive/ as non‑essential runtime artefacts (logs/HTML exports). They can be deleted later without affecting code:

These were left in place under artifacts/archive/ for traceability; the canonical sources are the corresponding .md documents and the SQL tables.

D. Open Follow‑ups (no new IDs added)

Rather than introducing new task IDs, the following should be tracked against existing sections in Task Backlog.md:

No additional task IDs were added to the master backlog; these items can be recorded under the existing SQL/Visualization or Architecture sections as needed.
